Tringa othuensis BLoxHAM, in Byron’s Voy. Blonde, Sandwich Ids., 1826, p. 251

One male, No. 171011, U.S.N.M.; Pulo Mata, August 29, 1899. 
Length, 235 mm. This specimen is apparently immature; and it is 
molting some of the wing feathers. 
Mr. Mathews is apparently quite right in separating the Pacific 
turnstone from that of Europe,’ for it differs from the latter, as he 
says, in smaller size and deeper shade of the chestnut-colored por- 
tions of the upper surface. The earliest available name is that 
selected by Mr. Mathews and here used. It might be well to men- 
tion, however, that if the date of Pallas’ ‘‘Zoographia Rosso-Asiatica” 
be 1811, as some contend, the proper subspecific designation of this 
turnstone would probably be cinclus, from Charadrius cinclus Pallas.‘
